DOI 10.54680/fr26510110312
Open DOI
Optimization of open-pulled straw (OPS) vitrification for isolated zebrafish blastoderms: a foundation for whole-embryo cryopreservation
BACKGROUND: Fish embryo cryopreservation is hindered by low surface-to-volume ratios, poor membrane permeability, and yolk-mediated resistance to dehydration. The massive yolk prevents uniform cryoprotectant equilibration, leading to let...

DOI 10.54680/fr26510110512
Open DOI
The effect of lactose, sucrose, and trehalose supplementation on dog sperm cryopreservation: cooling times, and adjustment of extender pH
BACKGROUND: Glycerol toxicity in semen extenders necessitates the development of glycerol-free alternatives for canine sperm cryopreservation. OBJECTIVE: We evaluated the effects of disaccharides at different concentrations, cooling time...

DOI 10.54680/fr26510110112
Open DOI
PERSPECTIVE: Cryopreservation of cell-populated bioengineered constructs - a roadmap for challenges, strategies, and translation
The advancement of cell-populated bioengineered constructs (BECs) has created an ever-increasing demand for effective cryopreservation strategies that guarantee long-term storage without compromising structural integrity or biological fu...

DOI 10.54680/fr26510110712
Open DOI
Crocin enhances the quality of frozen-thawed boar sperm by modulating oxidative stress and glycerophospholipid metabolism
BACKGROUND: Cryopreservation is a fundamental tool for conserving endangered species and enhancing reproductive management in livestock; however, post-thaw sperm performance is easily influenced by several stressors. Crocin, a natural ca...

DOI 10.54680/fr26410110712
Open DOI
The effect of carboxymethyl cellulose on gene expression related to apoptosis, cold shock, motility, and reactive oxygen species of cryopreserved dog sperm
BACKGROUND: Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), a cellulose derivative, is osmotically inert and has low viscosity compared with other non-permeating cryoprotectants. OBJECTIVE: To assess whether a combination of CMC with glycerol can improve...
